You need a second copy for backup and DR purposes, but that can be paper or electronic. Just make sure to have a policy backing up whichever choice you go with. It's hard to get rid of the originals, so we keep them a couple of years before getting rid of them.

Storage is getting very expensive and our Medical Records Director is looking for alternatives. We currently use Valco and can see the complete chart through PCI, but in the past our previous directors have insisted that we store the paper as backup.
